Exactly what I needed
Our short trip to NYC to visit our friends Gina and Steve was exactly what I needed.
In Central Park
Gina and Steve showed us an amazing time, hosting us in their home, and taking us all over Manhattan (and some of Queens!) to fulfill our culinary wish list (which I will post about tomorrow!). We had many wonderful conversations and told many jokes. It felt so good to spend time relaxing with friends, not thinking about work or any other silly stressful things. I didn’t want to leave NYC and feel quit bummed that I don’t know when we will see them next! Steven and I get along really well with them, which is funny, considering we have only formed a relationship in emails and this is only the second time we’ve ever been together in person!
In the Guggenheim Museum
One more day off of work, then back to reality. Hopefully this awesome mood will last some time!
Gina and Steve’s cat, Manny!
What was the last awesome vacation you had?

Glad you had such a great time! I wish I could have seen the Guggenheim when I was there. You and I will have to go back together soon! 🙂 (And Will & Steven I guess… ;)!)
We should all go together. There is so much to see and do there! I told Gina we should go back this summer 🙂
Sounds like an awesome time…I am very excited to read about your culinary adventures!
So fun! If the stars align I’ll be able to enjoy NYC in November. Last great trip? Boston, 2010…or Colorado 2010…
I remember both of those trips (from your blog!). I am hoping for NYC in Nov 2012 🙂
It sounds and looks like you had a great time!! I can’t wait to see the pictures!!! I love the first picture of all of y’all, it is too cute!!
=^..^=
I LOVE the Guggenheim – I really want to go back to NYC soon…last great trip? FL with the fam. I’d love a grown-ups only trip sometime soon…
I’m so glad you got a respite. And those pictures are really cute!
My last great vacay was Philly last summer, especially seeing my husband’s family.
Yay! I’m glad you had a good time and I’m excited to hear more about it.
I think Savannah last summer with my mom was one of the better vacations I’ve taken in awhile. Before that it was the cruise in 2008 with Jason.
I had such an amazing time! The laughing and joking around is what I needed, too! Please, please, please come back soonnnnnnn!
I’m so glad you had a great time in NYC! I LOVE that city. And Manny is so cute!
Hmmmm….probably most recent best vacation I’ve had was this weekend in Chicago. 🙂
I can’t wait to hear about your Chicago trip!!! 🙂
That sounds like a great trip! Glad that you feel rejuvenated – just what a trip/vacation should do for you!
I loved our trip to Yosemite in January, but I wouldn’t say that I felt totally relaxed and caught up by it. Not that I’m complaining!
Sounds like a wonderful trip! Without a doubt our trip to Alaska (Fall 09) was our best recent (and non-recent) vacation and I *cannot* wait to go back.
It makes me so happy that you and Steven had such a great time! I love taking trips and I have had some great ones, most recently our trip to Maine to visit my family. I also loved, loved, LOVED Ocracoke in the Outer Banks. Brian and I had such a good time there that we are planning to go back, maybe next summer (this summer is for Yellowstone and Glacier!).
I just got back from Florida!! It was a much needed vacation but it ended up falling at a crazy time.
Soooooo Jealous you got to go there! Looks like you had FUN!
